About Booker Avenue Infant School

Booker Avenue Infant School is a state primary in Liverpool that serves children from age 3 to 7, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has a capacity of 296 pupils and currently enrols 270, so there is some room, but demand significantly outstrips supply. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 254 applications for 88 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.89, and of the 96 families who put it as their first preference, 81 were offered a place. That level of competition suggests a strong local reputation. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is just 1.5%, which is notably low compared with the national average and suggests a relatively affluent intake. The school is non-denominational and mixed, with a nursery provision attached, making it a straightforward option for families looking for a local infant school with a clear feeder pattern.
